Prayer Room

In 1932, the East Jewish Cultural Association inaugurated the new prayer hall in Rheindorfer Straße. Nothing is known about its further use.

In 1805 Jacob Elkan established a synagogue (prayer hall) in his private house. Until his death, the services of the Jewish families in Weimar were held in this private synagogue. Above the decorated entrance door of the building are the intertwined initials "J.E." for Jacob Elkan.

Already in the 15th century there was possibly a synagogue, which is said to have been destroyed by Schwarzburg soldiers in 1492. But this indication has been doubted several times.   
Whether there was a prayer room in the 16th century is not known. 

The prayer room was located in the Pfifferling family home. Last use: No information
